I'm trying to install a software called maitreya (an astrology software, that's supposed to run flawlessly on Linux). The Installation instructions say I must get all the dependencies right before attempting to install the SW per se. Among them are a series of wxWindows and wxWidgets pgks. From the Installation instructions:
This is the content of the wxWidgets-3.0.4 source folder (once I've expanded the tarball):The following command can be pasted to the console:
"sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-0 libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk3.0-0 libwxgtk3.0-dev wx3.0-headers wx3.0-i18n libfontconfig1-dev"
Other platforms have only 2 or 3 such packages. On Redhat/Fedora the wx packages are called wxGTK and wxGTK-dev.
We recommend Unicode packages if your platform provides Ansi and Unicode versions of the software. If not mentioned, Unicode will most likely be the default.
You can also compile wx from source code, see the wxWidgets Site.
